St. Rose - I am continuing with my Snowy theme introducing what I think is likely a first year bird. This is my first young male this winter. While males are overall smaller in size, that can be deceptive without direct comparison. Males have a smaller head though and for my eye the head shape and face often look cat-like.

Wolfe Island- Kingston. Despite another snow dump today, winter is getting long in the tooth. A few Snowies are still present in the Kingston area. This attractive bird sat concealed on the ground until late in the day. I got a few pictures in low light with its eyes open, always a plus.
